Anyone else seeing a little David Boon there?

What was your fielding at short leg like?

 

[docjames]

Those shorts aren't a patch on the golf ones....

He's my twin-we share the same birthday.the only other thing in common would be alcohol consumption when I was a young,silly fellow.
I was first selected as a specialist silly mid on/off fieldsman.

My batting was modelled on "slasher"Mackay.I am sure I still hold the record in the Maitland competition for the slowest duck-some 3 hours.Idiot opposing captain thought by sending us in for the outright he would surely get a result.I opened the innings and said on the way out that it was going to be a draw and we should retire to the local.I did farm the strike-leg byes are easy to get.

Looks like a former Aus captain at the non-strikers end? A certain K. Hughes if I'm not mistaken.

Some great photos, can we see more, p.s. being a long suffering SA cricket fan, I'm still trying to work out who MrP is, any more clues?

Drron, I hope you don't take offence, however I'm sure a few more hours of coaching could help you with your back lift!

I think Hazlewood contributed 0 of a 50 run partnership today-must have read your post before going out to bat

RIP Hookesy.

It does look like him. Could it also be Laird? Or maybe that's the wicket. Era - early '80's. Time of Thommo, and Lillee. West Indies - think Viv, and the worst to face according to MrP - Malcolm Marshall. He did take 7/65 against the Windies including Viv.

I remember that photo and I did some searching, but I'm still none the wiser!

Mind you, a lot of people would say that's my normal state and who am I to disagree.

And yes - I've just checked the players who signed the letterhead for him and it was Kym Hughes. Good spot. His stance is quite defining.

I have travel photos running as the screen saver on my computer. One from Singapore & Sentosa got me looking back on a trip there in 1990

 

[RB]

A couple more that I guess help to show how much Singapore has grown

 

[Cossie]

Crete in 1980 or 81. Ahhhh, holdens and gum trees........

And that this area used to be waterfront.

As this is a random photo thread, here is one of the daughter's bird photos from the ANBG. Have had to shrink the file size but think it's still pretty good (well I suppose I would as her mother )


Maybe we need a thread of wildlife photos (and most of them would be exotic species from far flung destinations I would expect)

Do you have the original? Would be really something to have.

That is an excellent idea!
